Week of Prayer for Christian Unity — That They May Be One

Jesus prayed that his followers would be one. Why are there 30,000 denominations? The Catholic approach to Ecumenism.

Jan 18-25 is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. (It ends on the Conversion of St. Paul).

The Scandal

Jesus prayed at the Last Supper: "That they may all be one... so that the world may believe that you have sent me." (John 17:21). Our division is a scandal. It makes it harder for the world to believe.

What is Ecumenism?

It is NOT watering down the truth to make everyone happy. It IS praying together, working together for the poor, and distinct theological dialogue. We believe the fullness of truth subsists in the Catholic Church, but we recognize our separated brothers and sisters as Christians.


Pray for unity. But don't compromise. MyPrayerTower app.
